Wireless Access Points

[Reynolds, Alfred]

1000 bucks US, man thats expensive :)

Get the uCDimm, $300US, has ethernet, serial, IO lines (no PCMCIA tho...).
I used it for a telephony project I did (if your at linux.conf.au 2002 you
will find out more ;)

Still, I reckon the best option is a 50 buck 486 and a telephone extension
cord :)
